The State of the Union

I prefer not to watch hundreds of people stand up and down clapping for a President for two hours. I understand from my American history classes the importance (however ceremonial) of this speech and this night in our country, but I still honestly don't care enough to watch on my own. Justice Scalia even described it as a "childish spectacle" and he's probably right. But as all things require compromise, I am compromising and watching the State of the Union. Herein lie my thoughts on this event...

First. What is Michelle wearing? Her dress is reminiscent of an inverted heart on the top, and a funny iridescence on the bottom. No thank you. Also her hair could chill a bit, it is too poofy. But either way, I want your job. Look out girl. I am coming.

Second. I have only been watching for 1 minute and all I have seen is the President's entrance. I cannot hear what those ladies in blue were talking to him about, nor do I care what small talk is going on. I see a lot of opportunity to streamline this workflow.

Third. Obama and Biden's Bro-Shake. I can appreciate some bros in office.

Fourth. John Boenher regardless of political opinion is an old man fox. He's got solid green eyes, dark complexion and good taste in ties. So carry on.

Fifth. Ties. Who knew Congress and the Senate and all of the special guests had such good taste in ties. I see Vineyard Vines, bold colors and some that are just plain BOLD. Way to dress up your suits gentlemen.

Sixth. Nancy Pelosi. Stop with the botox. You aren't fooling any one.

Seventh. Taxes. That reminds me I need to call H&R Block. Obama describes the Small Business form as complicated. This whole process is complicated.

Eighth. I am going to enjoy my whiskey with my knitting and listen to the rest of this speech.


The State of the Union is strong. God Bless You and God Bless America.
